Almost Done!!

After an intense month of preparation, and an even more intense week with our three visiting engineers, we have now completed most of the components needed to finish Phase 1 of the project.

Two chambers were built just outside the exit point of the spring. The first chamber filters the water leaving sediments behind. The second chamber receives the filtered water and sends it through the end of the first pipe. All of the old piping has been removed and replaced with new galvanized-iron piping. A tank has been built to receive and protect the water as it is treated. The treatment device was brought to Haiti by the engineers and has already started producing the chlorine product that will treat the water. After a few weeks the tank will be ready to hold water and the construction of the fountain area will be finished. We will then connect all the pipes, fill up the tank, and start the treatment process.
